Playing house in the mountains was supposed to be temporary, but a woman would have to be made of stone to resist the most eligible bachelor in Pine Ridge and all his small-town charm....

Denny Torres needs a break. After a series of embarrassments on and off the field, the Adirondacks provide the perfect hideout for his new, quiet, post-football life. The fresh mountain air is a welcome balm for his soul, but what's even more soothing? The sexy, sweet touch of fellow Pine Ridge newcomer Bethany Jones. If only she planned to stay....

Bee does not have time for a hunky former athlete--no matter how good he looks shirtless. Her artistic ambitions are in ruins, her brother is a disaster, and while Pine Ridge has its charms, the small town is nothing more than a pit stop on her way to getting back on track. Bee's just going to ignore the fact that when Denny offers her the chance to channel her creative energy into redesigning his house, she finds herself building the home--and the life--of her dreams.

With their time together coming to an end, Denny will have to move quickly to prove he can be the man Bee needs. Who better than a defensive back to knock down those walls?

The Forever Adirondacks trilogy by Lauren Accardo is a series I’ve faithfully read simply based on setting. The final book in the series is Bold Love featuring Sydney from Wild Love‘s best friend Bee and Denny, a former NFL player. Bold Love was a fun distraction. I thought this wasn’t a bad read and found it to be quite relaxing to settle into during the morning and at the end of a long day. It did take me longer than I had assumed to read through.

Bold Love opens with Bee preparing to make a temporary move to Pine Ridge from her NYC apartment. She has just used the money she saved to go to design school in London to help her brother pay medical bills after a motorcycle accident. So, she’s low on funds and cannot resist a job offer from Denny. Denny has recently bought a new home and needs it decorated so when his parents come to visit they will be impressed.

And so, Bee with her knack for design enters the picture and works on his home. Over time, Denny and Bee have this chemistry that is undeniable. Also, Bee is staying in Denny’s guesthouse. But then, Bee’s brother comes crashing back into her life and she’s got to decide if she’s going to enable him or not. Also, her relationship with Denny will require some decision making as well.

As I have probably said before, I LOVE the setting in the Forever Adirondack series. For me, to get to the Adirondacks is like a two hour drive. So I enjoyed the familiar in this series. I also enjoyed the cameos from the main characters of the previous two books. As for Bee and Denny, their relationship was sweet and the chemistry was there. The spice wasn’t too awkward to read. The only thing is parts seemed to drag but that was more of a me issue than this book issue. Also, like 3 weeks after reading I could not for the life of me, remember the character names.
